Nice has, hands down, the best and most
varied nightlife on the Cote d'Azur. From grungy pubs to chic
piano bars to massive discos, the party scene in Nice rocks!
Ground zero is undoubtedly the Old Town (Vieux Nice) where revelers
are elbow to elbow on summer nights but there's also night action
along the quays and in the streets that radiate out from avenue
Jean Medécin.
And, there's no more smokey aftereffects either on your clothes
or in your lungs. Nice nightspots are fully in compliance with
France's new no-smoking laws.

best rags to get past the door. |

Thor
Pub
34 cours Saleya
04 93 62 49 90 |
| This must be in your guidebook. Rowdy and raucous,
this old stand-by is a favourite of backpackers and other visitors
who like to get down & dirty to the sounds of real rock &
roll. No need to dress up; you'll emerge smelling like a beer hall
anyway. |
| |
La Bodeguita del Havana
14 rue Chauvain
04 93 92 67 24
(closed Monday) |
| This is the place to find--how shall I put it?--a
close, personal and extremely brief relationship with someone of
the opposite sex. The ambiance is hot and so is the live salsa music.
You can also watch accomplished dancers bobbing around the tiny
dance floor. |

King's
Pub
15 rue de la Préfecture
04 93 62 17 11 |
| It's only rock 'n roll but they like it, yes they
do. The best of the region's groups make you get up and dance every
night. Thursday is student night which means that drinks are cheaper. |

but strong cocktails. |
| |
Le Karpedie'M
14 rue benoit Bunico
04 93 53 42 49 |
| This newcomer on the night scene has
become an obligatory stop on the Nice bar circuit as much for its
friendly staff as its exhaustive array of cocktails.Plus, the music
is kept in the background to encourage conversation. |

Johnny's Wine Bar
1 rue Rosetti
04 93 80 65 97
(closed Monday) |

frequent live music, this lively spot is relaxed and easy on the
budget. |

Le Shapko
5 rue Rossetti
06 23 33 71 20
|
| Thumping techno not your thing? You
won't hear a single drum machine here. Le Shapko is devoted to
jazz and only jazz. It's young, lively and a wonderful showcase
for local groups. |
